Universal Serial Bus USB Drives Portable Data Storage For Your PC

Universal Serial Bus or USB Drives are compact and generally are connected to the USB port to transfer data between PC and USB Drive. If your PC does not have a USB port then you can use a USB connector to connect the drive.  USB Drives are also known as; pen drives, flash drives, or thumb drives.  USB Drives have been used as an alternative to floppy disk drives. Comparatively it is smaller, faster, removable, and more user friendly than a floppy drive. And the capacity of this drive is many times more. It supports USB-2 which is more faster than any other USB. It supports  about all operating systems(Windows, Linus UNIX, MAC, etc).

Some key features to consider when you buy:

1. Capacity: How much capacity do you need?

2. Shape, Size and Color: Since its works as pocket/pen drive too, so size and shape, color, and design can be important factors to users.

3.  Automatic Install: Choose the drive which will install automatically. If not, manual install may be boring to you. Here you should see the security features too.

4. Budget: Budget is also a significant factor when buying something.

5. Warranty: See the warranty start date. It may start from the production date! Yes, tell retailer to clarify the warranty period if necessary.
